"We’ll be comfortable adding one (starter),” he said. “We’ll be comfortable adding nobody if it’s just not there. We don’t feel we are driven to force it. If we can add one that makes sense for us, that’s great. If we can add two that make sense … then we do that.”
Opie Taylor. In a decisive moment.

You quote an 84 ERA+, but that includes some shitty early years. Does his ERA in 2008 for Atlanta really matter? He has a 104 ERA+ over his last 49 GS from 2013 to now. Isn't that more relevant to this discussion?

Of course it is, but it doesn't make your point, whatever shitty ass thing that is. So you pick whatever statistics best tell your story.

It's like U000 using Cole's career ERA+ to justify why he isn't an ace, this while he is literally transforming in front of us. "Nope, not an ace, look at the career ERA+."

The past can serve as a predictor, but it's not the entire story. Get your nose out of past statistics and actually watch what is going on.

I'm not the biggest Charlie Morton fan, but the way he has pitched the past few years, and the first handful of starts this year, I don't know how you could say you can't count on him in a playoff series. They counted on him in 2013 and he pitched well enough to give them a chance to close out a series. If only Cutch could've come through against Wacha in the ninth...

Melancon seems to get a comebacker every outing. You gotta sweep the Phillies this weekend. Raise it.

@Haudricourt: #Brewers Jonathan Lucroy said Charlie Morton had best sinker they had seen all season.

His command has been very good the last month and a half. He's putting his pitches right where he wants them. It seems like when he misses, he misses out of the strike zone. He has been very good lately.

Still, I would try to deal him in the off season.

What percentage of your posts are about me, anyway? This obsession would be cute if not for the fact that you're a deranged lunatic. But I tell you what - if it will help you deal with the all-consuming obsession, I'll let you blow me. Just head on over. I mean, I'm sure I'll enjoy it more than you mocking my wife or calling my employer or stalking me over the Internet. You can spit or swallow, whichever you prefer. Come get it over with.

I guess it depends on your alternatives. He's vastly preferable to Locke or Worley, but his command issues and his tendency to melt down are concerning to me in a postseason setting. But you're correct that he pitched very well in Game 4 against the Cardinals...he has 3 1/2 months to make a case.

Oh come on, don't play hard to get NOW after a decade of being obsessed with my cock. Don't get cold feet, Josh. You know you want it. Come get it. I mean, you may have run tdippo off when you took shots at his dead father, but it's not going to work with me, so just come and take it. You know you want it.

This is a new twist on the crybaby mad libs that is your usual discourse. I like it. Using my real name for dramatic effect. A little unhinged. Homoerotic, which is probably the least surprising element.

I knew you couldn't resist.

Need my address? Oh wait, that's silly, you already know it being the master ot internet stalking and proxy servers that you are...speaking of, are you certain that you always remembered to use those proxy servers when posting under other screen names? Are you CERTAIN? Just curious.
